Brightstar Financial has teamed up with a number of industry partners to launch a Spring programme of specialist lending webinars.

The programme, which is designed to help brokers maximise the opportunity presented by the growing specialist market, begins on Thursday 25 April, with OneSavings Bank talking about bridging exit solutions for developers.

On Wednesday 1 May, Pepper Money will discuss why ‘specialist lending is becoming the new normal’ and on Wednesday 8 May, Bluestone Mortgages will look at the opportunities in the specialist lending sector.

In addition, Thursday 16 May will feature a myth busting session on second charge mortgages from Shawbrook Bank and on Thursday 23 May, the Dudley Building Society will discuss lending into retirement.

Michelle Westley (pictured), head of marketing at Brightstar Financial, said: “We live in a world where borrowers have an increasingly diverse range of circumstances and lenders are responding to meet this demand. It’s a huge opportunity for brokers but, with so many options, navigating the specialist market can be daunting.

“At Brightstar, we are here to show brokers the way and make it easy to provide specialist solutions for their clients. Our spring programme of specialist lending webinars will give brokers direct access to some of the industry’s leading experts, helping them to maximise the opportunity presented to them by this growing market.”
